Seat Marbella Reviews - Page 2 of 3

1994 Seat Marbella from Germany

Summary:

Very basic, but reliable and cheap on gas

Faults:

Fuel Intake got clogged, causing the car to stall. ADAC fixed it on the spot for about 40 euros.

Moon-roof leaked sometimes.

General Comments:

Very reliable car that got great gas mileage. It's a very cheap car, I bought it for about 200 euros in 2000. Very basic, kind of a cramped feeling. It won't go over 120 km/h, which is a real pain on the autobahn, sometimes if I drove down a hill it would go up to 140km/h. The stock stereo was awful, very weak speakers. But it got the job done.

1991 Seat Marbella XL 903cc from Portugal

Summary:

Cool

Faults:

It cost to me 150 eur's, and I think I have to change the radiator. The radiator Fan always work. We are in the summer, I know, but the water is always very warm, and today even the temperature light of the water turned on. I've changed a rubber "fol" from the right wheel.

General Comments:

I'm starting to like to drive this car, its cool, but the noise it makes is very high.

1994 Seat Marbella fun 903cc from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Faults:

The original pink paintwork is coming through the spray painted over red paintwork.

General Comments:

My first car, and am still driving it. although its pink and I'm an 18 male, it is really funny. I haven't really had any problems with the car and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of a first car. I used it for practicing driving and when my dad said emergency stop, it just kept going and going.

Haven't really ventured with the car. Gave it blacked out windows and some funky stickers that came in a magazine. A pink marbelle with blacked out windows does turn a lot of heads.

Otherwise it has been a really economical car for me and saved me petrol on short runs, even though the speed does like going above 70. that's the speed limit and what with a new license, it a lovely car to drive.
